[QUOTE="Pete Mella, post: 1229082, member: 47236"] Well here are some shots with the FZ18, which I've been playing with over the last week. It would be tricky to get great shots of small birds, unless they were very tame indeed, but some of the shots below I hop show that you can get decent record shots of small or far away birds, albeit ones that won't win you any photography competitions!
